Public Programs
Providing park experiences for everyone is one of the leading goals of Mississippi Park Connection. Together with the National Park Service and many other organizations in the community, we provide year-round programs and events for adults, families, and kids.
Explore the national park, meet new friends, and experience the Mississippi River at a community event
A kayak-sharing system in the Twin Cities, offering a unique paddling experience on the Mississippi River.
This immersive murder mystery combines performance art, history, entertainment, boating, and nature to create a unique, social experience out on the river in a national park.
